Nadja A bass clarinet sextet

1928, as André Breton describes his meeting with Nadja, he decides not to follow the literary code and especially to exclude all the descriptions from his text. On the other hand, the work includes many photos and drawings. The only thing missing was the music…
Through his compositions, Guillaume Grenard creates musical illustrations following the André Breton’s story. He chooses for the founding father of Surrealism, the most surrealist(ic) of the orchestra: six bass clarinets; and behind those ebony sticks, six strong musical personalities.
